A limited edition artist’s book designed for photographer Jeff
Barnett-Winsby. Jeff wanted to present his graduate thesis as a collection
of thoughts bound together in an oversized journal. Fifteen Beginnings
is a compilation of stories, letters, lists, and portraits.
I look for lights on and people awake. I look for those working and
reeling and placed in unflattering industrial lighting and counting
the seconds until they go to bed. I imagine their lives and the reason
for their night job, their primary function as attendant or babysitter
or whatever, and then I think of their function as place holder or scare
crow. I wonder what place I hold and I make their picture. —Jeff
Barnett-Winsby
